"and I am a poor hand at making one. You see, my action takes place in the
sixteenth century, and at that time, as you probably learnt at school, it
was customary in poetry to bring down heavenly powers on earth. Not to speak

* The dark side of the night *
I thought I was very tired. But when I walked out of the Inn and into the
warm September night, I was healed. It had rained in the afternoon, the
Alumni Drive was wet reflecting the bright street lights. I walked towards
the dark.
I followed a runner wearing a white T-shirt for half-of-a-minute. He was

One of my earliest memories starts with me sobbing. I refused to be soothed
no matter what Mom and Dad tried.
Dad gave up and left the bedroom, but Mom took me into the kitchen and sat
me down at the breakfast table.
“Kan, kan,” she said, as she pulled a sheet of wrapping paper from on top
of the fridge. For years, Mom carefully sliced open the wrappings around
Christmas gifts and saved them on top of the fridge in a thick stack. She

诺贝尔和平奖网站上刊登了评委会主席亚格兰的颁奖致词。德国之声在此全文转载其中
文版本。
国王和王后陛下、阁下们、女士们、先生们，
“挪威诺贝尔和平奖委员会决定，授予刘晓波刘晓波刘晓波刘晓波 2010 年诺贝尔和平
奖，以表彰他为争取和维护中国基本人权所进行的长期的、非暴力的努力。挪威诺贝尔
和平奖委员会一向的观点是，人权与和平之间有着紧密的联系。人权是阿尔弗雷德&#
8226;诺贝尔在其遗嘱中所提出的‘各国间友爱’的先决条件。”
我刚才所读的，是今年 10 月 8 日挪威诺贝尔和平奖委员会颁奖公告的第一段。
我们深感遗憾的是，和平奖获得者刘晓波正被隔离监禁在中国东北部的一个监狱里，不
能亲自出席今天的仪式。他的妻子刘霞或其他亲属也不能前来。因此，今天我们不会颁
发和平奖的奖章和证书。
这一事实本身就说明，授予刘晓波这项奖是必要的、应该的。我们对他荣获本年度诺贝
尔和平奖表示衷心祝贺。
历史上，曾经有多位和平奖得主无法亲自出席颁奖仪式。事实上，最有历史意义和最具

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more."

I was talking to somebody today about the Jimmy Kimmel incident. My friend
had not heard about it. That's part of the problem.
It isn't often that genocide is proposed in contemporary culture. That's
what has happened.

In 1990, at the age of five, Luo Gang was kidnapped and sold to a family in
another part of China. Unable to remember his parents' names or the village
they lived in, he stood little chance of ever going home. But 23 years later
he did.
Luo Gang had waited a long time for this bowl of noodles.
"Is it tasty?" his mother asks. "Do you want some chilli sauce or something?"
"No, no. It's OK," he replies.

"广场的学生指挥层内部都已经有很大的撤退声音" was the result of government
presenting an ever more hardline stance against the movement. It was the
real threat of force that created the voice to withdraw. Would only threat
of force cause the students to actually withdrawn? No way. The longer the
soldiers remain blocked, the less afraid people have of the crackdown.
Eventually, threat will lose its effectiveness, and anyone calling for
withdraw will be labeled as cowards, which is pretty close to reality anyway.... 阅读全帖 |

SINGAPORE — Let us take it as a given that the post-1945 world order with
the United States as dominant nation has begun to unravel, that China is
rising to inherit the earth, that the unease of our times has much to do
with that difficult transition, and that violent conflict is a normal
accompaniment to the passing of the baton from one great power to the next.

This wasn’t an election. It was a revolution.
It’s midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and
stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down.
They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took
their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them. |

没读完，注意到如下几点：
1. 2010年一个未向公众披露的调查显示：某隧道工程1/3的工人吃空饷，每天1000美元
工资
2. 工会收买政客要挟建筑商
3. 纽约隧道工程操作同样的机器，做类似量的工作，
需要的人手是亚洲澳洲欧洲（法国等）国家3-4倍
4. 挖隧道工人时薪＋福利每小时111元，周末节假日时薪翻倍，超时再翻倍到 400／
per hour， 结果发现工人工作很容易超时（为啥工程整体进度还是那么慢想不明白）
